Jinxin

Chapter 69
"What's the reason?" Ruan Yunsi also felt strange, thinking that these villagers also had some spare cash in their hands, and these seafood were not too expensive, so why didn't everyone want to join them?Unexpectedly, someone came to answer her doubts, and only heard Yunniang said seriously: "You said it lightly, do you know how to eat it after you buy it? Just say this fish, should it be stewed or steamed and braised? Not to mention the fish The ones with big feet have never been eaten by anyone in our village, if you buy a bunch of them and come back but don’t know how to eat them, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

Ruan Yunsi was speechless, thinking it's no wonder Lu Xun said that the first person to eat a crab was a brave person.I dare say it's not because of how scary the crabs are with their teeth and claws. The husband also lamented that the man could cook the crabs correctly and leave a delicious dish from then on?

Ruan Yunsi was really amused that the villagers didn't dare to buy these seafood because they didn't know how to eat it, but she naturally wouldn't tell the truth.In the end, I went back and bought more than a dozen jars, hired a cart, bought more than half of the seafood, and even bought all the octopus and squid.

Yunniang and Wang have worked hard all the way, but they haven't figured out how to eat this thing. Now that they entered the house, the two of them are no longer polite.Ruan Yunsi stopped hiding her secrets, picked up all kinds of seafood and put them in paper bags for Mrs. Wang, and told her to cook them in water at home and eat them. Those fish can be eaten as they like, and salted fish is also delicious. .

After sending Wang away, Ruan Yunsi opened the ice cellar here, because Ruan Yunsi didn't know there was such a thing in the courtyard, so she never cleaned it.Now Yunniang called Zhong Nan down, and after the uncle and sister-in-law cleaned the ice cellar, they asked Ruan Yunsi to freeze all the seafood in it.

Ruan Yunsi dug out a small jacket and put it on, and went down to the ice cellar which was five or six meters deep. Sure enough, it got colder as it went down.

Ruan Yunsi's previous life was in modern times, frozen seafood was not uncommon to eat, and if she wanted to eat it, she went to the market to buy fresh ones.It's just that in ancient times, apart from eating this expensive food a few times when I was a lady of the Hou Mansion, it was rare to even see it on weekdays. How can I care that frozen seafood is not as delicious as fresh ones?If you are so picky, you will definitely be struck by lightning.

After freezing these jars of seafood, Ruan Yunsi pickled another jar of salted fish, and then happily said to Zhong Nan: "Brother Nan, you go back and cut some leeks, let's eat dumplings tonight. "

"Eating dumplings? Didn't you just eat them a few days ago? Why do you want to eat them again now?" Yun Niang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Yunsi, let's not be so extravagant. Sister-in-law Wang just gave you a deer leg, and you have to eat it." Dumplings, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Won't there be so much cured meat in the future?" Ruan Yunsi shook her hand nonchalantly and smiled, "Don't worry, this dumpling is sure to be something you haven't tasted before, just don't eat it with your tongue when the time comes. After finishing speaking, he said to Zhong Nan: "What are you still doing in a daze? Go quickly."

"Hey, good." Zhong Nan got the letter and ran back in a hurry. After a while, he came back with a few catties of green leeks and said to Ruan Yunsi: "Sister Ruan, this leek can only be eaten once. The ones that grow will survive the winter, and we will not be able to eat them until next spring. Yes, I think it will rain today, so should we take back all the crops in the yard?"

Ruan Yunsi said: "Okay, Miss Xiu, pick up the leeks, and your brother and sister-in-law and I will take back the crops." After speaking, several people came to the yard and started to work together. Fortunately, there were many of the tens of thousands of catties of crops bought earlier. The Yan family who sent them back had already helped move them to the back room, but the remaining 3000 catties of crops made Ruan Yunsi and the others exhausted. , and because the number of crops is too large, the two miscellaneous items can't be put in the room at all, so I put some in the bedroom after all.

"When we have money, let's expand this house again, otherwise the business will get bigger in the future, and there will be nowhere to put these things." Ruan Yunsi washed her hands, looking at the dye crops in the house, she couldn't help but said helplessly.As the voice fell, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and then fine rain began to float outside, and finally the rain became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a downpour.

Zhong Xiu's leeks were also picked up, and Yun Niang wanted to get the venison leg, but Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Don't be busy, I don't need meat today." After speaking, she washed the few octopuses left in the basin with water After washing, I saw the octopus's fat head and eight long and thick legs.Zhong Xiu said: "What is this, sister, it looks scary."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "This is called an octopus. People on the seaside commonly call it Batou. It tastes very delicious. But if you say it's scary, what is it? If you meet a live one, it's scary. Seeing its long legs Did you put a round thing on it? This is called a sucker, and it is scarier than a leech. If you are alive, you put your hand on it, and the flesh will be sucked tightly, and it is scarier than a snake entangled in it."

Zhong Xiu asked curiously: "How does my sister know? Could it be that you lived by the sea in the early years?"

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Well, when I was living without a fixed place, I stayed at the seaside for a while, and I heard the old people on the beach say that these are nothing, and there is that kind of giant seal, which means a huge octopus. , on the vast sea, it is as big as a small mountain, and it is not enough for ordinary ships to get stuck between their teeth."

Zhong Xiu and Yun Niang looked at the octopus in fear, imagining how terrifying it would be if it could be as big as a hill, while Zhong Nan murmured beside him: "Oh my God, if such a powerful thing is really as big as my sister said , one foot sucked all the blood dry, right?"

"This thing doesn't suck blood, see? This is its mouth. It uses these feet to stick its prey and then send it into its mouth to eat. Of course, if it is a giant chapter, a dozen people may not be enough for it to fill its stomach Yes. But don’t be afraid, this thing is caught for people to eat, and it tastes delicious. The giant seal is also under the deep, deep seabed. Even a ship sailing on the sea may not be able to see it. "

While spreading the knowledge about octopuses to the three people, she kept on chopping off the heads of the four octopuses, and then started chopping the remaining long legs into stuffing with a knife, and said to Yunniang: "Go and chop the leeks into stuffing. It should be finer. This stuff can't be steamed, otherwise it's a pity. It's better to wrap it into dumplings and eat it."

How many people in the country are willing to make dumplings with leeks?It's nothing more than putting a little oil and sticking leek zygotes around the side of the pot, which is an improvement.Now that Yunniang heard that it was going to make dumplings, she became more and more curious, and hurriedly cut the leeks into thin fillings, watching Ruan Yunsi mix it well, and Zhong Xiu had already reconciled the white noodles, Zhong Nan laughed Said: "My sister said that this food is very delicious, and my mouth is watering."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said, "When it's time to eat, you'll know I'm not talking too much." As soon as the order was given, the four of them started making dumplings. Ruan Yunsi looked at the rain outside the door and thought that Su Mingxi would definitely not come over today , It's raining, hehe, otherwise, if he gets to eat such dumplings, he doesn't know how many times he will come here in the future.Hmm, but maybe, a rich man like him wouldn't even have eaten Batou dumplings?Well, it’s not certain, although all kinds of non-polluting things in ancient times are very good, but there are not many ways to make them, and there are few seasonings. I am afraid that there may not be dumplings with leeks.

While thinking about it, I suddenly realized why did I think of that rich young man?Unknowingly shaking her head secretly, she thought to herself, Ruan Yunsi, Ruan Yunsi, don't be moved by that little Mr. Su, otherwise you will really be doomed. Don't say that you escaped marriage first, it was that spiritual letter, isn't it enough for you to see clearly how many men there are in this world? Are you guilty?How can God be so kind, there is a young talent who is extremely rich, but this young talent is still an infatuated person, and he only likes you, ah bah, even if you are the heroine in time travel novels, It's all right to have a golden finger for weaving and dyeing, do you still want to look forward to Shu?Life is not the house-fighting and farming novels of Qidian.

When she was thinking this way, she heard Yunniang beside her say: "It's strange to say, I didn't smell any delicious aroma, it's not as good as the sauerkraut and meat dumplings we made during the Chinese New Year, but why is my heart so greedy, my stomach is so hungry." I’m so hungry, can’t this thing have magical powers? It’s so greedy before you eat it?”

Before she finished speaking, Ruan Yunsi burst out laughing. Feeling embarrassed, Yunniang quickly abducted her with her arm, and said bitterly, "Why are you laughing? I... I just said that I was very hungry, and... ...It's not that the saliva flowed out."

Ruan Yunsi said: "I didn't laugh at anything else. I just laughed at my sister who is not a noble person. Why is my memory so bad? You must know that we bought these seafood at noon, and we were busy cleaning up the pickled fish in the ice cellar when we came back, but we didn't eat lunch. It's already evening, don't you feel hungry?"

Yunniang was stunned for a moment, and then hugged and laughed with Zhong Xiu, Zhong Xiu said: "I'm so busy that I even forgot to eat lunch. When my sister-in-law said it just now, I was still wondering, thinking what the hell is going on?" I was also very hungry, wondering if this bald head really has magical powers? So it turned out to be like this..."

The whole family chatted and laughed, and made two dumplings in no time. Zhong Nan went to the stove to light a fire, added some firewood to the stove, and said to Ruan Yunsi: "Sister, the weather is getting colder every day. After this batch of cloth is finished dyeing, I will go to the mountain to collect some firewood."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Succeed, we will all go and pick mushrooms by the way. Brother Nan doesn't have to go back tonight. You, a frugal child, will definitely not be willing to burn firewood at your sister-in-law's place. Some of the mordants in Heli are extracted and saved for later use, and the kang over there can also be heated, although there are sundries such as raw silk dyes piled up, it is enough for one person to sleep."

　The dumplings in Batou with leek and eggplant box with meat in leek have always been Lihua’s favorite, but I don’t know how many people have eaten it. Batou is octopus. It tastes really delicious, but I heard that many people in the inland Don't even eat it, it's scary.
